This doesn't seems to be true to me.  Most of the contributed LaTeX
packages in CTAN have technical documentation in the form of a composite
file with extension *.dtx.  User documentation maybe part of this or
separately available. LaTeX'ing the *.dtx will provide you what you've
wanted.

If you really know how to reverse engineer, lack of documentation will
not put you in any crisis, although it can save a bit of effort.
